Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 261: Chapter 260: Entering the Chamber

The first group of people who came out were taken away individually by several Imperial City Guards, as no communication was allowed. The situation inside the chamber was obviously very dangerous. Just by observing the people who came out, it was clear that this added psychological pressure on those who had not yet entered.

The passage of the test was quick, and soon five groups had already completed it. However, nearly a thousand people remained inside, and among them, there was one chamber door from which only about fifty people came out, nearly half of them dying.

This made those who hadn’t entered yet even more worried, especially since many of them were familiar faces, whose strengths they were very aware of. Some of those who had not yet entered already looked pale, clearly very frightened.

The best scores from groups two to five were also announced, which boosted everyone’s motivation to unleash their potential. However, it also caused some who wanted to achieve high ranks to die faster, with even more getting injured.

The first place in the first group had reached a distance of seventy-nine meters, a distance that was surpassed by the fourth and fifth groups. The first place in the fourth group advanced to eighty-three meters, while the fifth group reached eighty-five meters, posing a significant threat to those who had not yet entered.

”Wei Qun, when you enter later, don’t mindlessly rush in. I’ve experienced this Gravity Chamber before; it can really crush your bones, and the pain is unbearable. As long as you can reach fifty meters inside, you should be able to advance to the next round smoothly,” said Chu Linfeng.

”Don’t worry, Brother Long, I’m not a reckless person. I’m very aware of this. When I feel like I can’t hold on any longer, I’ll stop and wait for the gravity to disappear before coming out. But, Brother Long, you shouldn’t overexert yourself either. Although glory is important, your life is even more so,” Wei Qun replied.

”Didn’t you want me to take first place at first? How come you’re now showing concern?” Lin Feng laughed, knowing that he must have changed his mind after seeing so many people die.

Lin Feng and Wei Qun’s tokens were in the seven thousand range, meaning that it would be their turn as soon as the group inside came out, making them increasingly nervous.

”Hey! There you are, I’ve been looking for you for ages. It’s almost our turn. Are you confident about coming out?” a voice reached Lin Feng and Wei Qun’s ears.

”I thought you weren’t coming. Where did you go just now that you’re arriving only now?” Lin Feng laughed. The person speaking was the woman they had encountered who was disguised as a man.

”How could I miss such a great opportunity? I entered thanks to the five hundred Star Stones you spent. It would be a waste if I didn’t come.” The girl laughed.

Wei Qun looked at her and said, ”I’ve known you for so long, but I still don’t know your name. We can’t just keep calling you ’Hey, hey,’ can we?”

The girl’s expression changed slightly and then she said, ”I’m called Luo Er Mu. It’s a bit of an ugly name, so I was embarrassed to say it. You can call me Er Mu or Wood if you’d like.”

”Er Mu? Wood? Interesting. How could your father give you such a name? That’s really unrefined,” Wei Qun laughed.

”I’m Wei Qun, and he’s Zhao Long. You can call me Brother Wei and him Brother Long, but be careful inside that chamber; it’s very dangerous. Don’t go in and never come out,” Wei Qun said.

”Brother Long, Brother Wei! Don’t underestimate me, I might just surprise you at that time! Haha!” Luo Er Mu laughed.

At this moment, the sixth group had also come out, about seven hundred people emerged, many with bloodstains on their chests, clearly injured by the gravity.

Soon, the first place result for this group came out, reaching eighty-six meters, one meter more than the first place in the fifth group. Everyone remaining started discussing who this person might be.

Next, it was Lin Feng’s group’s turn. Wei Qun and Lin Feng entered the same chamber. Initially, they wanted Luo Er Mu to join them so they could look out for each other, but she directly refused, saying she would give them a surprise later, entering a chamber alone.

After entering, Lin Feng and Wei Qun observed the situation inside the chamber. The so-called chamber was actually a passage, eight meters wide, with glowing orbs embedded in the ceiling every ten meters, but the light was very dim, with visibility not exceeding ten meters.

The Imperial City Guard immediately closed the chamber door, signaling that the test had begun. Lin Feng quickly infused Star Power into the token but didn’t rush forward.

The passage was stained with streaks of blood, emanating a pungent odor. The eight-meter-wide passage wasn’t very crowded even with a hundred people inside, and many had already started moving forward.

Seeing Lin Feng not moving, Wei Qun didn’t move either but was curious enough to ask, ”Brother Long, why aren’t you moving? The time is limited, don’t forget.”

”I know this. The gravity in the first twenty meters is definitely weaker, and everyone is moving fastest during this time, which might cause a crowd. It makes walking inconvenient. We can wait for them to leave first for two minutes, giving us more space and allowing us to better circulate the Star Power within us to move,” Lin Feng replied.

”Hmm, Brother Long is right. If so many people enter together and reach a heavier gravity area, it would be easy to get knocked down, and getting up would be difficult. Even if they’re not crushed to death, they could be trampled to death,” Wei Qun said.

Lin Feng understood Wei Qun’s meaning. At that point, everyone would have infused their bodies with Star Power, and every step would be filled with energy, causing such outcomes. Some people were not supposed to die, but they fell because of gravity and got trampled to death.

”Let’s go! But don’t move too fast!” Lin Feng said.

After walking about ten meters, Lin Feng felt a strong pressure on him, indicating that the gravity started at ten meters.

However, no one was ahead, suggesting they had all rushed forward.

They moved another ten meters without seeing anyone, but could hear different cries of pain, indicating that some were already overwhelmed by the gravity, unable to stifle their screams.

”Wei Qun, don’t rush. The range of thirty to forty meters has the most people, and many might be unable to withstand it anymore. You need to be cautious of those around you who have been knocked down; they might, in their pain, pull you down as well,” Lin Feng said.

”I know, Brother Long. Have you started using Star Power to resist the gravity yet?” Wei Qun asked.

”Not yet, the pressure feels heavy, but it hasn’t reached the point where I need to use Star Power,” Lin Feng replied.

Wei Qun was secretly surprised, even though he hadn’t used Star Power either, he was already feeling a bit short of breath.

They moved another ten meters, by which point, there were many figures ahead, and the ground was littered with corpses, which had long been trampled beyond recognition by those who entered earlier.

The cries of agony continued to sound from ahead, sending shivers down anyone who heard them.
